Automakers Try To Keep Repair Codes Secret

I believe that this tale shows the relative political power between geeks and NASCAR fans...

Can't get the trouble codes out of your car's computer? Congress wants to help. I think it's odd that they think it's your God-given right to reverse-engineer your car, but not your XBox. Why aren't the automakers bashing these third-party code readers over the head with the DMCA while they still can?
